Just dug these comics out of a cupboard - may have shown some of them before, but probably not all of them. I might add them to the previous Marvel UK classic covers gallery, but while I'm deciding I thought I'd give them their own wee post so that you cavortin' Crivvies aren't delayed in getting a peek at them. Have any back in the day? Then you know where the comments section is!

I don't think I remembered any of these at the time. In fact I only became aware of the Incredible Hulk comic about 7 years ago when I picked up a copy that had one of my favourite Hulk strips in it ( reminded me of MWOM). Were these all UK Marvel books?
In between composing the post and publishing it, McS, Marvel Madhouse disappeared, but I've now restored it so take another look. Yup, these were all Marvel UK mags.
And they're all my original issues from their time of publication as well.
I'm a massive Rupert bear fan but I've never seen these comics before. Did they contain new stories or just reprints from the daily express or annuals. I will have a look on ebay
I never really looked much at them, AL, as I only bought them because they were new comics. I didn't start collecting selective Rupert books 'til years later. And I've put the issues away after scanning them, so I can't really check without half-emptying my cupboard again, which I don't feel much like doing.
That's ok. I know what you mean. I have a bedside cabinet full of 70s british marvel comics which I've never opened for at least 30 years !!
I considered including interior images to all these comics in the post, but decided against it on the grounds that I didn't with the previous two posts. Next time I'm looking for something specific in the cupboard, I'll take a wee look at the Rupert issues and check what they're like. I've also got #s 2 & 3 of the '80s series and a Holiday Special for the '90s one.
For me the term "Marvel UK" will always mean the weekly comics I read from POTA #5 in November 1974 to the final issues of MWOM and SSM in January 1979.
Which is understandable I suppose, CJ, as they were your personal experience of Marvel UK. However, the fact remains that all the comics in this post are official Marvel UK publications, as Panini didn't take over until a few years afterwards.
I never knew Marvel did Rupert. I remember getting the Hulk weekly comic, but that must have been 1978 or 1979, I think.
Yeah, that would've been the paper-covered comic to tie in with Marvel and Spider-Man, MW. This one was a glossy-covered comic more like the ones from the pre-Dez Skinn period.
